Which area has the biggest range of temperatures?

[Demon-Xanth]

In my town, it snows signifigantly every year, and gets many days of 100+ temps every year.

Edit: Half way between Sacramento and Tahoe.

Look near the bottom:

Finally, let's go to Yakutsk, Siberia (62°N), where we notice that this subarctic location has:

a. a radiation deficit for six months out of the year, indicating we're near the Arctic Circle.
b. the highest values of Q* for any site no matter which latitude
c. extremely cold winter temperatures, coldest place on planet
d. widest range of temperatures for any location on earth's surface, over 60°C (107°F) fluctuation between lowest winter and highest summer temperatures.

60C, that's it?
I've personally seen 41C in the summer here and last winter we had a day that was -42C before windchill. Western/Central Canada has to have the biggest difference. We're far enough north to get the really bitter winters and far enough south to get as high of temperatures as southern states get.

I believe they are talking about average mean temperature.

Year round?? Holy, there's no way any place on this continent will come close to that then.

MN has to one of the top picks. Here the winters get to be -30 Fahrenheit and the summers have been as hot as 102 not to mention the humidity! There are many times when it will be about 50 degrees out and the next day be 10 degrees (fall).
